You Before Me [dave east]

| twenty four

Xiomara;

It's now been weeks. Last night I sent a very hateful message to Dave, I was angry and it was impulsive. I was impatient.

I sigh, rubbing my eyes as I sit in my office, looking back at the message on my phone screen. It was message 29. Dave has been gone for 29 days so I don't know, maybe you can understand my rage not having the one person beside me who was supposed to keep me grounded.

29. Today I learned that when people care, they fight for you. Latoya was leaving Marquis and then he fought for her. They're toxic but to me that's love right there, David. It just makes me wonder why you can't fight for me. The nurse said you were making improvements but now she's saying you're slowly slipping away. How could you David? Why won't you fight for me? Im so angry that you're not here with me. You even missed my birthday! You're selfish for leaving me like this and I fucking hate you for it. I'm slowly losing my mind and you don't even have the decency to fight for us. I hate you David! Fuck you.
Delivered

I sigh at the message in regret while pinching the bridge of my nose. If I could delete it I would but that wouldn't stop it from showing up on Dave's screen. It wouldn't make any difference.

I put down my phone and head out of my office to see my boss. I knock on the door before wondering inside, seeing him sitting behind his computer per usual. "Mr. Winchester, would you mind if I took the rest of the day off? I'm not feeling too good." I explain to him. In truth, I really haven't been feeling good at all. I've had this gut feeling in my stomach all morning and it's making me queasy.

"Of course. Guess I'll see you Monday. Have a lovely evening." He wishes, still not taking his eyes off of his computer screen. I know that's because he was going to look at my ass as I was walking away. I roll my eyes mentally.

"Thank you." I say and head out.

I close the door behind myself, wandering back into my office to get my stuff together. I lock up and take the elevator down to the main floor so I can leave.

"See you Monday, girl." Paris tells me as she sees me heading out. We've clicked so well since she started working here last month. Sometimes we'd even meet each other outside of work.

"Later." I wiggle my fingers as I wave and walk out to Dave's car. As I'm heading towards it, my phone starts ringing in my purse so I dig through it before pulling it out. Seeing it's Dave's mom makes me answer quickly.

"Hello?"

"Girl, getcho' ass to the hospital right now!" She exclaims and then hangs up.

I pause in my tracks and look down at my phone screen. She sounded excited so it must be something good. I squeal to myself and start running to the car, attracting a few states but I didn't care.

Dave was awake. I could feel it in my beating heart.

I run to the door on the driver's side and try opening it, almost tripping over my own two feet and breaking a heel. I realize I didn't even unlock the car because of how excited I am. "Hurry, bitch." I tell myself, getting the door open before getting seated behind the wheel.

I speed to the hospital, possibly running a couple red lights but I didn't care. I'll be damned if I got pulled over today though so I'd probably even end up speeding from the cops in a high speed chase just to get to Dave. They can follow me up to the hospital room if they want.
